Justin Matson is a Los Angeles based comedian who likes to be gay in his free time.
Back when he was skinny, he won the title of New York City’s Funniest New Comedian and performed regularly at the Comic Strip Live.
Once he got fat, he toured his critically-acclaimed stand-up show FATTER THAN YOU THINK to sold-out crowds in North America, Australia, and the UK, and won 3 and a half Roast Battles at the World Famous Comedy Store.
Sure, that show won “Best National Act” at the Pittsburgh Fringe, but you’re not easily impressed, so let’s focus on the next big thing – his second hour, TRY HARDER – a motivational self-help parody combining stand-up, crowd work, and fun little skits his mom was okay telling her friends about.
He toured that show in Edinburgh, Helsinki, New York, and Los Angeles, and is currently adapting it into a comedic self-help book you’ll probably get gifted at a white elephant party one day.
Now he’s skinny again, thank God, and started touring his third hour, BAD GAY FRIEND, which recently debuted in New York and San Diego. He also booked an AT&T commercial and had to pay SAG-AFTRA a lot of money.
Awards? Alright, fine. Since you keep asking about awards, you should know he won the “Behind the Bits Comedy Contest” and recently won the GOLDEN KEYCHAIN AWARD and became a paid regular at The Kookaburra Lounge in Hollywood!
If you really want to get technical, he also co-created the daily Instagram series @EASIERMOVIES, worked as a sketch writer for WEMASH and ALLCAL, produced and edited podcasts for RUPAUL’S WORLD OF WONDER, and wrote and starred in a choose-your-adventure interactive comedy horror spoof, SCARY DEATH HOUSE, which was a finalist in the LA Scripted Comedy Festival.
